Title: Betrayal & Comebacks
By: Moonlit Sea

A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers for reviewing

"Hey maybe that girl Jeri knows where she is." Max said.

"But that still doesn't explain why she left her Beyblade." Kenny said.

"Maybe she just didn't want to battle her and that was the only excuse she could think of." Dizzi answered.

"Or maybe it's worse than we thought." Ray stated.

"Enough with maybes already." Tyson said getting up, "Let's just go and find her."

"Okay Tyson where do you suggest we start?" Kenny asked thinking Tyson would have no answer.

"Well how about we start with that girl Max was on about."

"Right I can take you all back to where we first met her." Max replied.

"Then what are you all sitting round for. Go and find her." Dizzi said.

Where Sam & Max first met Jeri –

"Yeah… she was here a few minutes ago…" Jeri said. "We were suppose to battle but she said she forgot her blade. Which I think is the dumbest excuse ever!" she continued uninterestedly.

"So where'd she go?" Ray asked.

"You wanna know. You're gonna have to win." She replied holding up her Beyblade.

"I've had enough!" everyone was surprised to see that it wasn't Tyson who had blown his top but Max. "All we want are some simple answers and you can't even give us that!"

Jeri shrugged then smiled before turning round to walk away.

"You won't be smiling when you get pulverised."

"Max… you okay buddy?" Tyson asked. He'd never seen this side of Max before. Even when he was mad at the Chief for not choosing him to play against the All Starz.

"I'm fine Tyson."

Jeri turned round smiling.

"Great, but I'm afraid you're the one who's gonna get pulverised."

"She planned this!" Ray suddenly said.

"Huh? What do you mean Ray." Kenny asked.

"Remember how Sam said that if it wasn't for Max she'd still be here telling her to get out of the way." Ray explained.

"Yeah so… what's your point?" Tyson asked.

"Whatever Max did, this girl wants revenge." Ray answered.

"Well she's not going to get it this time." A voice suddenly said.

They all looked round and were very surprised to see…

"Sam!" they all said in unison.

"Hey guys." She smiled. "Sorry for disappearing on you like that."

"Where'd you go? You could of left a note or something." Max said returning from the dish and leaving a very annoyed Jeri standing there.

"Oh… well… first I came to battle Jeri, then I went to see Mr. Dickenson."

"But what about the muffled scream I heard?" Ray asked.

"Huh? Muffled… oh you must mean the way Jeri's 'friends' brought me here." she said then turned to Jeri. "You know you really have to teach them not to take people so forcefully especially if they say their going to come back."

"And Moonstar? Why didn't you take her with you?" Kenny asked.

"She must of fell outta my pocket. I was quite surprised when I couldn't find her." Turning back to the others.

"Ya know you shouldn't worry us like that." Tyson said.

"I'm sorry guys there was just no way to let you know." Sam replied apologetically.

"Why did you go and see Mr. Dickenson?" Kenny asked curiously.

"Oh…uh…to…uh…speak to him about something." She answered hoping she sounded convincing. "I tried to reach you from there but got no answer. I guessed this would be the first place you guys would look."

"Well we're just glad you're alright." Tyson smiled.

"Here." Ray said going up to her and giving back Moonstar.

"Thanks Ray."

Then Sam did something unexpected. She took Moonstar, put her on her launcher and fired it at Jeri knocking her blade out of her hand.

"Hey!" Jeri shouted.

"Now who's pathetic huh." She said to Jeri as she caught both blades in her hands.

Tyson couldn't believe what he was seeing. There was that same look again but this time it seemed even colder than when she battled him.

"Look I'm sorry okay. Now just give me my blade back." Jeri said walking towards Sam.

"Oh you mean this…" Sam said holding up Jeri's blade.

"No I mean the one in the other hand stupid. Of course I mean that one." Jeri answered sarcastically.

"Bad move Jeri…" Sam replied.

She then threw Jeri's blade into the air and launched Moonstar at it.

"Moonstar destroy that blade!" Sam shouted.

"Sam no!" Max shouted.

They couldn't believe what Sam had just asked Moonstar to do. It still hadn't sunk in when Beyblade parts came raining down.

"Sam's become Kai." Ray said solemnly.

"Sam are you nuts!" Tyson shouted.

Sam caught Moonstar in her hand then looked triumphantly at Jeri only to receive look of shock and sadness on Jeri face. She had tears forming in her eyes. It was then that Sam realised what she had done.

"Oh no!" she cried and ran back in the direction of hotel.

No one knew what to say at what Sam had just done and Jeri ran off nearly crying.

"Uh… remind me never to get Sam mad." Max said trying to lighten the mood a little.

"This is serious Max." Ray replied.

"We have to find out what's wrong." Tyson said about to run after Sam.

" I think it's pretty clear. Sam's become Kai." Kenny said repeating a little of what Ray had said earlier.

"But did you guys see the shocked look on her face when she realised what she'd done." Max said defending Sam.

"Max and Tyson are right. We have to go and see why she did that." Ray said.

"Then lets go!" Tyson said running towards the hotel.

Back At The Hotel (Ray and Sam's room) –

"I can't believe I did that." Sam said to herself as she paced the room. "Why did I do that?"

There came a knock on the door.

"Go away!" Sam shouted at the door.

"Sam, are you okay?" Kenny asked.

"I'm fine now just leave me alone!" she replied still shouting.

There came no reply after that so Sam assumed he had left. She then sat on her bed and cried herself to sleep.

In the main part of the hotel room –

"Well?" Tyson asked when Kenny came back.

"She said she wanted to be alone." Kenny replied.

"Perhaps we should just give some time." Max said thinking about when Sam was discharged from the hospital.

"How are we suppose to find out what's wrong if she won't tell us!" Tyson stated annoyed.

"Sounds like we've been in this situation before." Dizzi commented.

"Yeah but at least then she would still talk to us." Kenny reminded.

Ray sighed then yawned.

"Perhaps we should all talk about this in the morning."

"I can't sleep not until I know why Sam did that." Tyson said.

"Well it's looks like you're gonna have a long wait Tyson." Max replied with a yawn.

"Do you think Sam will let you in Ray?" Kenny asked.

"We'll soon find out." Ray answered as he headed for his room.

Pretty soon everyone headed off to bed including Tyson, sleep getting the better of him.

Ray and Sam's room –

Ray knocked on the door but got no answer. He opened the door slowly in case things were hurled him. After he found that nothing was being thrown he popped his head round the door to see if he could see Sam. The room was dark but the moon shone brightly through the windows. He saw Sam lying on her bed sleeping; he went over to her and saw that she had been crying.

-Poor girl.- he thought to himself.

He was about to get ready for bed when he heard.

"Kai… please no…don't do it"

"Huh?" he said confused.

He turned round and saw Sam was still sleeping. She looked so peaceful perhaps he was hearing things. He was about to go again when Sam spoke in her sleep.

"Please don't do this me…. Kai please…. Don't listen to them."

-She's having a nightmare about Kai? But why?- he wondered.

He sat down next to her and gently shook her while saying softly.

"Sam… Sam… wake up."

But all he got was a "No…Kai…no."

Then suddenly Sam shot up nearly hitting Ray in the process.

She was puffing and panting as if she was trying to catch her breath. Unaware that Ray was in the room.

Ray put his hand on her shoulder making her jump.

"Sorry." He apologised.

"Ray? What…" she asked a little confused.

"You were having a nightmare," he said hesitating a little before continuing. "About Kai."

"I…I…" was all Sam could say.

She then shook her head as to bring all conscious thought back.

"I have no idea what you're talking Ray." She said calmly denying it.

Ray just smiled, got up and went to get ready for bed. If Sam didn't want to talk about it who was he to force it out of her. Then the thing Tyson had said on the first day they met Sam came into his head 'Then we'll just have to force it out of her.' He chuckled at the thought.

When he came back he found Sam gone but this time she had left a note, it read:

'Gone for some air, be back later

Sam '

-At least you left a note this time- he thought sighing; he decided that there was no point telling the others. She would be back before morning and they would be none the wiser. He then got into bed and fell asleep.

Kai was also having a nightmare and he awoke with a start. He looked out the window.

-What's wrong with me? Why can't I get Sam outta my head?- he thought then sighed, -I need some air.-

He walked out of the abbey hoping to clear his mind and get rid of the horrible nightmare he had, had.

"Hello Kai." A voice said behind him.

He quickly turned round and to his surprise saw Sam standing behind him. –I must be dreaming again.-

"No you're not dreaming." she said as if she had read his thoughts.

"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly.

"Same thing as you I suppose. Getting some air." She replied.

"Hn"

"Tell me have you been getting nightmares about…" Sam hesitated for a moment wondering how Kai would react then continued, "…us?"

Kai looked shocked as soon as Sam had mention the word 'nightmares' then quickly regain his composure but not quick enough as Sam said.

"I'll take that as a yes"

"So what if I have what's it to you?" he asked.

Sam smiled then looked up at the moonlit sky.

"You know it happened just on a night like this. The moon shinning brightly, no one round…"

"What are you talking about?" Kai asked getting a little annoyed.

Sam then looked at Kai.

"Oh I'm sorry you weren't there were you. You'd already destroyed my hopes, dreams… and my blade."

It was then Kai knew exactly what Sam was talking about, she was telling him what happened after the nightmare he had.

"But… that's… impossible." He stammered.

"No Kai. It's not. 'Coz you see it wasn't just a nightmare it was reality." Sam said calmly.

"Okay I just had about enough! Tell me what you know!" Kai said angrily.

"You don't remember? Awwww and here I was hoping you would. Ahhh well."

She turned to go but Kai grab her wrist and turned her back round.

"Tell me!"

"Why? There's no point if you don't remember. Oh and by the way I want to thank you… if it weren't for you I wouldn't have destroyed another girls hopes, dreams and blade too." She said a little annoyed as she thought of what she did to Jeri.

"I'm not letting go until you tell me"

"Fine then! I'll tell you but you'll have to let go of me first"

"Do I look stupid to you." Kai asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

Kai squeezed Sam's wrist even tighter.

"If you're trying to hurt me Kai it won't work. I gave up my feelings long ago."

-Oh crap! Why did I have to go and say that!- Sam immediately thought.

Kai just stared at her half confused half angry.

"You remember when we were young… we'd already been here a couple of months when they put us to battle each other. I was losing the match…" Sam turned round the best she could so that Kai couldn't see the tears forming in her eyes. "So they told you to destroy my blade. I try to plead with you not to but you wouldn't listen to me. When you destroyed my blade you not only destroyed it but all my hopes and dreams!" she turned back to Kai so he could see her hurt.

"I ran away from here crying and wondering how on earth you could be so cruel. I must have wondered around for a long time until I found my way to the roof of a building. And that's when I got Moonstar, and when I promised myself I would never end up like you!" she said the last bit with pure hate.

Kai was shocked at what he had just heard. Why couldn't he remember any of this? His grip on Sam's wrist loosened just enough so she could yank it away, which she did.

"There I told you happy now! Making relive that terrible day!" tears steaming her face.

"I… I…" Kai stammered. "But why can't I remember any of this?"

Sam dried her eyes and replied as cheerily as could.

"Hey if it helps I didn't remember any of it until Ray said I was having a nightmare about you."

Then Kai's frosty exterior came back up.

"Yeah well just remember, we're enemy's now." And walk off back to the abbey.

Sam sighed "Oh Kai."

Then made her way back to the hotel.

Unknown to them both someone had been watching them.

-So… she's back. I believe it's time to arrange a little reunion.- they thought evilly.

The next morning Max bounded into Ray and Sam's room.

"Good morning." He cheerily.

"Hey Max." Ray said while making his bed.

Then Max noticed that Sam was nowhere in sight.

"Hey Ray, where Sam?"

"Hm?" he turned and saw that Sam's bed hadn't been slept in.

"I dunno." He answered.

They into the main room and found Sam asleep on the couch. They were about leave quietly when Tyson came bounding in.

"Hey guys." He said.

"Tyson shhh!" Ray said.

"Huh?"

But it was too late, Tyson had woken Sam up without releasing it, She yawned then stretched.

"Oops sorry." Tyson said after seeing Sam on the couch.

Sam saw Tyson, Max and Ray and greeted them cheerily.

"Morning… what's for breakfast?"

"You must of read my mind. 'Coz that's just what I was about to ask." Tyson said.

"Let's go see." Max answered.

"What about the Chief?" Ray asked.

"Let him sleep." Tyson replied.

"Yeah I think he pulled another all nighter." Max added.

"Let's go eat." Tyson said.

Sam laughed as she went to open the door, but as she did so Tyson noticed that she had a bruised wrist.

"Hey Sam how'd get that?" he asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh you mean this." Showing them her wrist.

"Yeah." Tyson replied.

Sam smiled, "That's what you get when you sleep on your wrists." She lied.

"But… ouch! Ray!" Max said as Ray kicked him.

"Oops sorry Max." Ray apologised.

"Come on I'm starved. Let's go and get some breakfast." Sam said opening the door. While thinking –I wonder if he knows.-
